    16 inch on gs

    wanting to change the rear wheel on my 82 gs750 to a 16 inch. did any gs use one that might fit? or other suggestion of a donor.

    Hi,

    The rear wheel from an '80-'81 GS750L might fit. You may have to change sprockets to get the gear ratios to your liking. The '80-'82 GS750E is 15/41 and the '80-'81 GS750L is 15/40.


    Thank you for your indulgence,

    BassCliff
